If people spoke to others in real life the way they do on here they'd be facing a life of being punched in the noggin at every turn
It’s like aggressive drivers, behind the wheel encased in metal, they become ‘brave’, driving too close, tooting if they want to go faster etc. Irl on the be pavement as pedestrians it’s a difference thing.

Re: Real life vs. Internet: Is your personality different?
On a forum you can nip off and make a brew, come back and start the conversation where you left off. In real life that would not be possible and it would be very rude to ask some one to wait there while you nipped home and made a cuppa. ☕️ 😂As, has been said, it's difficult not to be oneself. So yes I'm pretty much this in real life

In real life people round me are like me and like me I'd hardly surround myself with people that were as rude as some on forums are.

I don't know how people perceive me on the net but I feel I am the same here as in 'real life' I am a genuine woman and a gentle soul with a lot of compassion and empathy and too soft for my own good as I've been told many times but I like who I am and not about to change after all these years. Some people play upon my gentle nature and can tend to take me for granted sometimes but I always enjoy helping others in there times of need.06-04-2018, 08:09 PM

Re: Real life vs. Internet: Is your personality different?
To be honest I've had enough myself. It's a phoney world is the internet.We can post in a thread offering our condolences one minute to somebody who is going through so much pain with the loss of a loved one, then instantly we will flip straight to the next thread which could be about some trite and trivial banter about cakes or something and laugh and joke adding happy smilies!
There's just something not honest about that sort of behavior is there?
